Biography

]
Ernst was the fifth son of the viceroy
Archduke Rainer Joseph of Austria
and
Princess Elisabeth of Savoy
. In 1852 he was made a Knight of the
Order of the Golden Fleece
by Emperor
Franz Joseph I of Austria
.
Heinrich Anton had a military career and became Feldmarschallleutnant and commander of a division in Graz and later Brunn. He saw action in the
War against Italy
and distinguished himself during the
Battle of Custoza (1866)
.
Heinrich Anton married morganatically on February 4, 1868, in Bolzano with singer Leopoldine Hofmann (1840?1891), who became
Freifrau von Waideck
in 1878. They had one daughter Marie Rainiera (1872?1936), Countess von Waideck, who married in 1892 Enrico
Lucchesi Palli, Duke della Grazia and Prince of Campofranco
(1861?1924), grandson of
Maria Carolina of Bourbon-Two Sicilies
, the famous Duchess of Berry.
The Emperor
Franz Joseph I of Austria
disapproved of this
morganatic marriage
and Heinrich Anton was expelled from the royal family. He laid down all his military functions and moved to
Luzern
in Switzerland, where the couple lived until he was pardoned by the Emperor in 1871.
The couple returned to
Tyrol
where Heinrich Anton retired from the army and lived in a palace in the Musterstreet in
Bolzano
. On a rare visit to Vienna in 1891, both Heinrich Anton and his wife contracted pneumonia and they died in the same night.
